Montana Food Bank Network

Thank you, KPAX-TV for doing this news story on MFBN's Groundbreaking & Blessing Ceremony as we entered the public phase of our Campaign for Bigger Impact, just two weeks ago. https://lnkd.in/gfxccEUS

Montana Food Bank Network recently marked a historic milestone during Missoula's annual 26-hour giving event, successfully raising $31,000! This fundraising effort is part of our ongoing Campaign for Bigger Impact, aimed at bolstering our resources to fight hunger and construct a purpose-build facility. We owe this triumph to the generous members of our community who not only contributed financially but also spread the word about MFBN and the critical work we undertake to address food insecurity. Missoula's support and belief in our mission were instrumental in achieving this record-breaking success, THANK YOU!

Exactly 7 hours left to GIVE to MFBN during Missoula Gives! The facility we're building will double our current facility's capacity to just over 50,000 square feet, with room in the warehouse for 1,600 pallets of shelf-stable goods, 160 pallets of fresh produce, and 300 pallets of frozen meat, and more. Doubling MFBN's refrigerator and freezer storage capacity will allow us to source and distribute that much more fresh produce and protein, so we can support local growers, minimize long hauling, and ensure that Montana families have access not just to food, but to the quality, nutritious food everyone deserves.

To date, MFBN has secured $12 million in funding for this generational project, which leaves $3 million yet to raise! As we enter into Missoula Gives, a generous donor has stepped forward to offer a $20,000 match. Your gift to MFBN through Missoula Gives will help us get across the finish-line of this critical project. Every $1 you pledge today will become $2, thanks to our match!

Missoula's annual 26 hours of giving is just days away! And you can bet that we are participating 😊 Montana Food Bank Network is asking you to join us as we take the next step in making our big vision a reality. With the new warehouse we're setting out to build, we can serve our large network of partners in new and better ways and, at the end of the day, put more food on the tables of Montanans. But we can't build it without your support. Mark your calendars for May 2nd & 3rd as our Missoula Gives profile will begin accepting donations towards our Captial Campaign for Bigger Impact. 🔗https://lnkd.in/gaXKYYdF #mfbn #montanafoodbanknetwork #missoulagives #endhungerinmontana #capitalcampaign #bigsky #bigimpact #montana #statewidefoodbank #montananonprofit

Thank you, KEMBEL KOSENA & COMPANY INC for capturing this footage from our Ground Breaking & Blessing Ceremony that took place on Thursday, April 25th, 2024! As food insecurity in Montana has grown, so have we. To keep up with the rising demand for food in our state, our warehouse, transportation, and operations teams have mastered the art of sourcing, storing, and distributing as much food as possible, as efficiently as possible. In fact, we can turn $1 into as least four meals. A new and bigger warehouse will make every dollar go even further. Three-quarters of our network partners don’t have the storage capacity they need at the local community level. As Montana’s leader in food insecurity, we have the relationships and buying power to make the biggest impact on hunger. With more space, we’ll be able to bridge that gap for all our partners. https://lnkd.in/eK-bR_sX
